Rosenstein points out that it’s often tastefully dressed women 45-years old and older, such as business executives and married women with teenagers, who buy his 5.5-inch Louboutins – probably because they can afford them at $850 a pair. These women are all about wearing statement shoes – that is, sexy heels that turn heads the way luxury sports cars do for some men. And while they cost far less than a V12 engine, shoe collections can be just as loud.
“When we started in 2004, people thought this was really high,” said Rosenstein, holding up a 3-3/4-inch Christian Louboutin pump. “Then, in fall 2005, we got the first almost-five-inch heel with a stacked platform base. Now, people say, ‘That’s so low – I want something higher.’ “
Enter the six-inch stiletto, which comes with multiple stacked platforms at the toe end.
